How to get playlisted in Boston
Understand Boston's playlist landscape
Boston has always been a hotbed for college radio and indie music, from The Dropkick Murphys to Passion Pit. Today's curators blend that DIY ethos with modern genres like bedroom pop, emo revival, and underground hip-hop. Venues like The Sinclair and Brighton Music Hall showcase the diversity of sounds that Boston curators champion. Research playlists that match your vibe and check their recent adds to find where your sound fits.
What Boston curators look for
Playlist curators want polished tracks with clear artistic direction and solid production quality. You don't need a massive following, but a cohesive visual identity and basic press materials help you stand out. Boston curators appreciate artists who understand their playlist's specific mood and audience.

Why Boston playlists matter for your music career
Boston's music ecosystem extends far beyond its famous rock history. Today, curators at WERS and WBRS champion emerging artists across genres, while venues like Paradise Rock Club and Great Scott provide platforms for discovery. The city's concentration of students and young professionals creates an engaged audience hungry for new sounds, from experimental electronic to folk-punk hybrids.
Connecting with Boston-based indie playlists opens doors to the broader New England music network. Local curators often have relationships with bookers at key venues, college radio programmers, and festival organizers throughout the region. Getting playlisted can lead to gig opportunities, radio play, and connections with other artists in the scene.
Groover gives you direct access to playlist curators who guarantee they'll listen and reply to your submission. You get real feedback even if you're not added, helping you refine your approach.
